This is a really neat example. When I was in academia, I wondered if I could teach a advanced undergrad physics course that focused exclusively on breaking all the standard physics theories. There are three ways that theories typically break. - Falsified by experiment. This is for example discussed a lot in the Modern Physics course with regards to classical theories. - Broken math for the theory. This is an example of this, and most of the theories have some weird stuff like this that has to be ignored. - Philosophical unpleasantness. Sometimes theories have weird philosophical consequences that indicate that we should come up with something better.
